Blah.

----Skip this section to avoid politics----
I stayed up until almost midnight last night like following election news online. Without getting too political, I have to say I'm slightly depressed and frustrated. Not just because our President is pretty much on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me on most issues (most, not all. silver lining and all that), but because Romney wasn't exactly my first choice either. Frustrating because I was left with the choice of voting for the person I really, truly believed would do the best job but had no chance of winning this time or voting for the person I thought might do a little better job. Maybe.

The only way to change that is for everyone that feels that way to vote their conscience regardless of how they think the election will turn out. But, if you have a definite opinion on the main party candidates and you vote for your preferred third party candidate, there's the "wasted vote" guilty feeling if your "lesser of two evils" main party candidate doesn't win. Even so, I'm glad I live where I have the freedom to vote and to express my opinions, good, bad or indifferent.

----End----

The vaporizer I got for Beckett seemed to help a little. He only cried once every two hours instead of once an hour like Monday night. Luckily he's pretty happy now that he's awake. I need another cup of coffee, then I'll be set. Maybe I'll splurge and use some Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha creamer this time.

I would love to spend the day in the craft room working on some refashions or gifts or some shopping bags at the least. Laundry is piling up, though, so I should attack that first. Should.

I do have some Shiner going flat so I can make a batch of Beer soap without blowing up the kitchen. It's probably my favorite to make, but with B I haven't been in the soap kitchen much. I love using it for shampoo, but I'm out and refraining from raiding my shop stash, so I've been alternating between other soap varieties and *gasp* store bought shampoo. I can't wait to get back to shampooing with my beer soap.
